A MOTHER has expressed her anger after her three-year-old son fell over trying to avoid dog mess and cut his head open.

Rachael Collier, was walking up to Minehead First School to drop her sons, Reiss and Logan, off to pre-school.

She said: “My partner had just dropped us off and we were walking up to the school.

“I could see dog poo on the floor and there were footprints where someone had stepped in it as well as a bigger clump near it.

“I picked Reiss and Logan up to try and avoid it but someone was trying to get by and we all just fell over straight into it.”

Three-year-old Logan had scuffed his knees, but it was big brother Reiss, who turns four on Sunday, who had suffered after banging his head on a wall.

Rachael added: “Logan was sobbing so one of the teacher’s came along and took him into school and Reiss had his hand to his head; when he moved it all I saw was this deep cut.”

Distraught Rachael and her partner, Steven Harrison, then spent an hour in Minehead Hospital while Reiss had his head glued up.

She said: “He was brave and he went back to pre-school afterwards but I am fuming. It’s bad enough when people leave dog poo outside shopsbut to leave it outside a school when they know people are rushing about it’s just so irresponsible and inconsiderate.”
